    Folders not opening


    I have very specific folders in file explorer that will not open. I end up having to delete them and then re-add. This is the third time it has happened, and it is very annoying! The folders are from SharePoint that we use for work. Only one other person has had this same issue. Any advice?

    Windows 10 Version 1809

    Opening a Folder in VC++

    I've recently started learning VC++ and it's coming along quite nicley, I've now been given a little task by my boss to add a button to an excisting Incident report program.

    All the button needs to do is open a new explorer window and open the folder selected in the incident report program. There isn't a deadline for it, it's just to assist in my learning.

    I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me, i just need a few suggestions on how to do this so i'm looking in the correct direction?

    Thanks
